Owderb Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) The trouble is with growing different vars in the same room is that sometimes one plant is going to outstretch the others Also it may help those that dont like to top I knew this one would so i decided at 10 days in flower to slow it down without topping or training, i thought i'd take you some pics Make sure the plant you are supercropping is on new lush growth and not woody so its less likely to snap Just gently squeeze the stem inbetween nodes and start to bend it, and try and leave the stem 90 degrees to the main stem I did all the tallest Edited October 26, 2008 by Owderb 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owderb Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Takes a bit of practice but rocket science it isnt Once youve done it leave them a couple of days in peace just to recover and they'll be fine 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owderb Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) And a final close up If it does split dont worry as it will heal and form a knuckle, but if you dont do it enough then the stem will be upright in no time Edited October 26, 2008 by Owderb 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randalizer Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 outstanding Owd! Thank you for that! That is just what I need for my garden. My girls like to stretch and due to my use of linear rails adjusting lamp height is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tyler.Durden Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I achieved simlar buy tieing the branches down on my last crop, although i can see this being slightly quicker to do, im thinking tieing them down is a better option as it didnt do any damage to the branches? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotzero Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 thanks for that Owd i was thinking of super cropping my Blue Cheese (Barney's) but have read that some of the Cheese variations don't repond particularly well to it.....not sure if its true or if it would effect me has anyone had any experience of super cropping Blue Cheese?

Blayz'd Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nice one Owd. Never tried this before. If I do them in veg how long should I leave them to recover before flowering? I was just looking for another thread you made where you showed how you chop all the lower unwanted branches off. I can't seem to find it. I needed some reference before I let loose with the blade. I did go through the topics a few times but I must be going blind. If anyone knows where that thread is could you link me up please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owderb Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) A week on so i thought i'd post a pic of the result As you can see i even split this stem and a couple of others when i bent it but it soon healed and its saved me about 8" in height plus allowed lower buds on the branch to receive more light In fact i find its best just to do it till you hear a crack or the stem tends to virtually go back to where it was before Edited November 2, 2008 by Owderb 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
